So yeah, I've been getting a ton of pm's recently and figured it would be easier to have one thread that has all the questions and info you guys need.

So yeah, if you need to know anything that has to do with IF3, post it in here!

Are there alcoholic beverages served at the premiers/parties? If so, are they reasonably priced or should we do all our drinking beforehand?

There will be booze served throughout the whole festival (Premieres at Cinema Imperial, Salomon Party, Massive Party and NS Awards)

I'm not too sure on the prices, but it never hurts to have a few drinks beforehand. We are obviously going to try and keep them fairly reasonable, but the venues also have a say in how much we sell drinks for.

The only party that is 18+ is the Salomon one

Negative. The hotel + vip deal is pretty cheap though....

225$ for three nights, the vip pass, three breakfasts and some ns swag

Should I buy whatever ticket I want at the door? Or should I pre-order through you.

You should probably pre-order since there are only 250 VIP passes being sold, and tickets will be more expensive at the door.

I'd be really clutch if people worked together and carpooled. I know in Burlington we are trying to figure that out. We still have the cult going, so if you want to post up in there to find a NYer with a car, be my guest.

What will be the normal price for a ticket? How many screenings does it take to rentabilize your vip pass?

All the prices are listed in the NS Store, so you'll be able to do the math and figure it out

We only use one currency in the store, and it has been like that since we opened. It's easier as about 95% of our orders are from the US

This is going to be in like my first week of school at McGill. I really want to come but I know no one in mtl. I'm thinking of buying a VIP pass, but will it be worth it to just show up alone?

If you are coming from out of town, where is the best/cheapest place to park your car?  I dont want to pay the ridiculous amount that we got charged last year again.
